On Wednesday, we covered just over three hundred miles
between Birmingham, Alabama and Gatlinburg, Tennessee, mostly along backroads,
particularly after we came into the Blue Ridge, Appalachian, and Great Smoky mountains.
It was, to be honest, a relief to put behind us the fraught
history of the Mississippi Delta and Alabama and to be out in nature’s wonder.
